Potty training pants or trousers 👖

My LB is doing really well at wees, not managed poo on potty/toilet yet.

When did you move to pants on (not naked waist down) or I’ve seen too trousers no pants may be better? 😫

After the first day, we did trousers and no pants. Did that for a few more days and then did pants and trousers- he was so excited to put his paw patrol and Spider-Man pants on that we probably could have just gone straight into pants and trousers, but I had read about it feeling too much like wearing a nappy so just waited a couple of days.

Ohh I’m just starting today and I read on the NHS website to use training pants…maybe I’m doing the wrong thing 😖

ive read this too, maybe I will put his trousers on this afternoon (we are day 2) could be pooey trousers ha. Thankyou x

im no expert but not sure as many use them now, its like a transition thing. My health visitor directed me to the “eric” website. Ive seen some people do naked day or 2 or pants straight away too differs!
Good luck x

Thanks, I’ll have a look!

We did 3 days naked from the waist down then leggings for maybe 4 weeks but no pants. Then we really sold in the big girl pants and she has had no accidents for maybe 7 weeks now ?

Amazing thanks. I’ve taken off his training pants now and will see what happens!

We put on trousers no pants this afternoon, already wet through 2 trousers :( do you go back a stage or persevere?
Plan to send him to nursery Friday so need pants then x

this is our first day trying and he’s had two changes of trousers today too, but he’s had three successful wees in the potty. Is it your first time trying? I think it’s normal for them to have lots of accidents early on x

its our second day, yesterday was naked waist down, did really well and this afternoon I put trousers on, I guess the safety of that causes accidents.
Well done for your LB this is alot haha xx

We’re not doing so well now 😂 he’s got a tiny wet patch on his trousers but hasn’t been for a wee in over 2hours and now won’t sit on the potty or let me change his trousers 🤦🏻‍♀️

oh gosh its a ride isn’t it! Im planning to send my LB back to nursery on Friday so tomorrow we are guna do pants trousers for 2 days I’ve decided not enough time to do all these stages lol x

My LB is scared of pooing :( yesterday was poo accidents today won’t go x

Parenting 24/7 is harder than going to work full time?

I’m having a debate with my partner as he’s done nothing to help since. Our 14 month old was born, I’ve done it all alone all day and all night. He gets a break when he comes in from work all night I never get a break
He try’s to tell me it’s harder going to work full time 5 days a week than parenting ALONE 24/7?
What do you think

Divorced at 5 months PP

My husband just divorced me yesterday.

I'm 5 months post partum and I feel like complete shit. I literally can't stop crying and I don't feel like eating and this whole week my milk supply has gone down due to stress and not eating. What helps with milk supply?

The divorce- on Monday at 5am me and my husband had a small argument on text. It was regarding him not catering to my love language. I sent him a video on how women shouldn't have to ask and how laziness can kill a relationship. We've had many arguments regarding this prior about him not catering to my love language and he doesn't buy me flowers or doesn't think of me. Anyways this night, he text me saying he doesn't do Mother's Day and all that, he doesn't want to buy me flowers because my sisters buy me flowers and he can't be arsed with my moods. He said I've not been his peace and said he's done.
I replied "okay. All I want is for you to appreciate me and love me as your wife and mother of your child. I'm not pushing you away, I'm begging you to love me etc etc. I'm done too."

I come home from my errands that morning and he's upped and left. He took all of his belongings, clothes, drawer, tv- everything.

He didn't ring or text me or anything.

The property is in my name and as he left and didn't leave the key, I changed the locks the next day. I feel this is what pushed him over the edge.

He officially divorced me on Saturday.
I'm 5 months post partum and I have a 5 year old from my ex partner too.

I just want to talk about it with someone that's not biased. Was I asking for too much? I feel he just didn't want to be with me anymore and used this as an excuse? Or is that me overthinking....
Input would be nice xoxo

Partner is giving me the silent treatment

So I was struggling with my postpartum anxiety bad yesterday. My partner and I was out for drinks with family. He kept making jokes about treating me a bit shit.
Which no one thought was funny. I am usually quite patient about him using me as his jokes, but yesterday it hurt.

When we got home I told him it made me feel disrespected. Now he is giving me the cold fat shoulder?! What do I do ?

wtf moment?

I have been going back and forth with my husband lately. Well not lately it’s been years. He is the best husband and father you could ask for; for two weeks. Then he’s inconsistent. It drives me mad. Then he’s back to husband and dad of the year , then back to same inconsistency. I talked to him about this last night and he said “if i was lovey dovey and acted like this all the time you’d get bored and cheat on me.”

Ok so for starters i know some of you are going to say omg omg omg super controlling omg leave omg. No im not doing that. Im happy he finally admitted his wrong doing and taking accountability for it but id like to know the deeper reason, the what the f has him thinking like this reason, the personality trait reason. He’s obviously scared I’m going to leave him; so much so that he’s doing this dumb shit to prevent it. Past trauma? What do y’all think I can do to get him to see I’m not going anywhere? I’m consistent already, I married him, we have a baby. He really is the love of my life. I have never loved another man like this before.. but this shit is for the birds and he thinks he’s keeping me doing this but in actuality it’s making me lose respect and detach.

FTM

Hello,
FTM here. At what age do you stop applying cream on nappy area during nappy changes? My 2 year old boy isn’t toilet ready yet but uses both nappy pants/pull ups and regular diapers

Forgiving a partner…

Long story short - found out 2 months ago my partner of almost 10 years has slept with two girls, one of which he’s been seeing for 8 months - during this time I was pregnant with our third child and gave birth. (She had an abortion)
I found out, he cut all ties (still works with her)
I want to try and move on from this, we have three children , and a home… I can’t face the idea of being without my children half the time. I want to try and make things work. But I can’t stop the intrusive thoughts / images of the two of them together…. Any advice if you’ve been in a similar situation?
Sick of feeling this rubbish, also 5 month pp so hormones/confidence is in pieces😣😣😣
